I think it is cavan. Was there lately and found the people so grumpy and unfriendly, ignorant as well. What is their problem?
Clare is up there as well.
Anyone another other suggestions?
I will say this - I spent more than a year backpacking. Along the way I'd meet various punters from all over the world, and the odd Irish person, every couple of days. As a general rule, of the Irish people I met, the Dubs were by far the friendliest. Cant pick out the least friendly, but definitely the Dubs were the friendliest (and I'm not from Dublin).
Ulster
I'd agree. If Dubs abroad were any friendlier or if I wasn't Irish, I'd dismiss them as scammers.
Ulster's a county now?
Ulster says no.
It will be a short thread at this rate.
Clare and Cavan already bit the dust in the OP.
Now you've knobbled the rest of Ulster's counties in one fell swoop.
Sound like a right unfriendly lot so
Ulster's brilliant. Lived in NI for a while and it's a very friendly place.
But a good fry.
Cavan folk are very friendly, unpretentious and down to earth,Galway people are friendly ( providing they can trace you’re lineage back at least three generations , unbelievably clannish)
Id think loyalist towns are highly unfriendly to anyone from the South or the modern world generally - had the misfortune of spending time in Larne & Antrim Town on a couple of occassions, toxic to anyone from the South.
Spent time in Newry & Derry, the opposite very friendly.
Kilkenny, woefully ignorant
Dublin has the best and worst of Irish people but I agree , Dublin folk are warm and judge you based on character, not whether you’re grandfather lined out for the parish
North Tipperary I found to be particularly friendly, was spoken to by almost everybody I encountered.
I’m sitting right beside posh Proddies from Co Down in a Dublin café, I gather from their chat together they are musicians. Talking about church atm. Seem very relaxed & friendly.
Edit - I hear they are divinity students
Gwynedd in Wales, what a dour bunch, was on holidays there a few years ago and had to the say the locals were not friendly at all, wouldnt go back.
Meath people can be a little strange whereas Kerry people are on the whole friendly except for a couple of parts of Tralee.
Not very scientific I suppose.
Yes, I've always found Dublin people very friendly.
cnoc
it's not the answer the OP wants, but obviously, there are friendly and unfriendly people in every county. Can't say I've encountered a blanket unfriendliness in a particular county.
Couldn’t pick just 1 off the counties there all that bad
Strange how?
Westmeath. Especially Mullingar/Kinnegad. Awful accent as well, sounds like they want to tarmac your drive. Very sectarian obsessed with the Catholic Church, although not very Christian, and the GAA, but also very anti Northern Irish, even fellow gaels.
+1 for Meath & Galway people aswell.
You must be from Monaghan.
Same in mayo.. I literally had to list my family connections to the ferryman here..
Cannot agree as I ( English by the way) was made very welcome in Westmeath whenever I was there. Many good sincere Catholics. wonder what you said to evoke what you say you heard!
By the time this pointless thread is finished, every county will have got a mention based on 1-2 individual experience.
"The waitress in County <here> was so rude, so the whole county is rude...."

Moved from CA as Its a better fit for After Hours.
That's island folk for you. Hardly representative of people on the mainland, you should know that.
You really should make a distinction between west and east Galway.
